Give your baby lots of time to watch you as you speak

What you need 

• Time together during the day or night 

What to try 

• Talk to your baby about everyday life. You might describe changing your baby's nappy, washing them in the bath or other routines you do throughout the day.  
• Be as expressive as you can while talking. Your baby will be fascinated by different facial expressions, like wide mouths and eyes, and a variety of tones of voice.
